Description:
iPhone users are the most reluctant audience segment to try Galaxy, even with a disruptive and innovative form factor as the Galaxy Z Fold which unfolds into a tablet-sized phone.

We learned from research that the #1 reason iPhone users dismiss the Fold experience is that “Galaxy Z Fold looks cool but it’s not for me” (Sentiment research 2022).

Watching a demo film online doesn’t really convey the immersive benefits of Fold, and getting iPhone users to step into a retail store is nearly impossible.

CREATIVE IDEA To get them to experience Fold for themselves, we created a first-of-its-kind demo that lets them try Fold on their own terms and their own iPhones, and learn how Fold offers an experience that’s twice as immersive compared to their traditional iPhones.

STRATEGY We guided ourselves with 3 principles to break the inertia. 1. Trying is more powerful than showing. There are ton of assets that “show” Fold but the experience can never be as real as a first-hand experience.

2. Make the experience social. Bringing two iPhones together means we’re bringing two iPhone users together, sparking buzz within the iPhone community.

3. Be disruptive yet convenient. The experience shouldn’t require anything extra but should take place on their own iPhones.

EXECUTION After six months of development, we’ve launched “Try Galaxy Fold Experience,” a first-hand experience where two iPhones are synced with a 6-digit code to transform into a single, immersive Galaxy Z Fold interface, where users can watch, play and see the difference for themselves.

RESULTS This initiative amassed over 10.6 million downloads in 5 months, with over 75% reporting a more positive perception of Galaxy post-experience. Due to the success, we rolled out an Android version earlier this year to expand reach to old-Galaxy users and other Android users.
